This race is too close for my taste.” Michelle Obama takes the stage with Kamala Harris and sends Kalamazoo, Michigan, into a frenzy. The former First Lady addresses especially the men skeptical about voting for the vice president:
“When you go to vote, choose which side of history you are on. A vote for Donald Trump is a vote against” women’s health.
— Michella Obama
Michelle Obama lashed out at Donald Trump during a speech in Michigan on Saturday, urging Americans to vote for Kamala Harris to protect women’s reproductive rights. “Look, a woman’s body is a complicated business, you all know so please, please do not hand our fates over to the likes of Trump who knows nothing about us, who has shown deep contempt for us because a vote for him is a vote against us, against our health, against our worth,” she told the rally
Denouncing a double standard, Michelle Obama – beloved by Democrats but so far absent from the campaign – explains how Harris is expected to be “smart and eloquent, to have a clear set of policies, to never show too much anger, to prove time and time again that she belongs”. From Trump, an “incompetent liar, called a fascist by his former chief of staff“, we expect “absolutely nothing: no understanding of politics, no ability to put together a coherent argument, no honesty, no decency, no morals”, she points out.
“We need a grown-up in the White House,” she added to thunderous applause from the audience, who urged them to “do something,” dusting off that “do something” with which she inflamed the Democratic convention. The former First Lady then introduced Harris on stage, who is arriving in Michigan after her stop in Texas to earn Beyoncé’s support. “It’s time to sing a new tune for America,” the superstar said in Houston, climbing on stage with the vice president amid hugs and smiles. With her hair loose and her black dress, ‘Queen B’ urged people to vote and reject Donald Trump and his abortion ban.
